Photographic forensics or image analysis is the interrogation of digital images to extract meaningful information; mainly from digital photographs by means of digital image processing techniques. Forensic analysis allows us to compile reports to support criminal or civil claims, where photographs are critical evidence. We use a number of techniques to analyse digital images:
- Image Error Level Analysis. Using specialist software, we can highlight differing error levels throughout an image, to detect digital manipulation after an image was recorded.
- Photoshop Forensics. Adobe Photoshop can be an excellent tool to interrogate images for pixel aspect ratios, colour codes, enhancements, measurements and digital manipulation.
- Electronic Discovery of Meta Data. Using Data Recovery techniques, we can recover meta data to determine exact creation, access and modification dates, even where attempts have been made to hide evidence.
We comply with the strict guidelines imposed by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and Electronic Evidence Procedures. Our image analysis reports are admissible in legal hearings and we often testify as expert witness in photography, image analysis, video analysis, and latent fingerprint examination.
Before undertaking any image analysis, we will give you a guideline price. Once we receive your media, we will then undertake an assessment and provide a definitive price. At this stage you are under no obligation.
